Dear friends and colleagues,
Curiosity connects the clues. Compassion changes lives.
An exciting day at the Dr S. D. Deodhar Intercollegiate Rheumatology Quiz—Uttar Pradesh State Round, held today at Brown Hall, KGMU, Lucknow, with 20 teams participating!
Hosting the quiz at Dr Deodhar’s own alma mater made it even more special.
🏆 Winners: Medanta, Lucknow
Dr Sourabh Sinha & Dr Pawan Yadav
🥈 First Runners-Up: GSVM Medical College, Kanpur
🥉 Second Runners-Up: IMS, BHU, Varanasi
The poster, speech and debate competitions brought more energy and fresh perspectives to a day of clinical reasoning and shared learning.
My takeaway during “Why Rheumatology?”:
“Superspecialising in rheumatology keeps you connected to your CORE—Medicine.”
Heartfelt thanks to Prof Puneet Kumar, our quizmasters Dr Swapnil Jagtap and Dr Parag Vijayvergia, the IRA and IRA Quiz Core Team, and everyone who helped organise and participated.
Congratulations to the winners—and to every participant who brought curiosity and enthusiasm to the hall!
